  • Patent number: 9511680
    Abstract: The present invention provides a vehicle battery mounting structure including: a lower frame made of fiber-reinforced resin that has a first open portion for water drainage and configures, together with an upper frame, a battery frame that supports a battery; a lower reinforcement made of metal that has a second open portion for water drainage having a smaller open area than the first open portion, the lower reinforcement being joined to the lower frame in a state in which the second open portion is communicated with the first open portion; and an insulating grommet that is formed in the shape of a ring having an upper flange and a lower flange and that is disposed at the lower reinforcement as a result of a peripheral edge portion configuring the second open portion of the lower reinforcement being fitted between the upper flange and the lower flange.

  • Patent number: 7713396
    Abstract: Lithium cobaltate forming the positive electrode of a lithium secondary battery is subjected together with lithium metal to reducing reaction in molten lithium chloride to produce lithium oxide and to precipitate and separate cobalt or cobalt oxide. The lithium oxide is subjected to electro-deposition in molten lithium chloride contained in a lithium electro-deposition tank provided with an anode and a cathode to recover lithium metal deposited on the cathode.
